Contenders are really fun and versatile firearms, but it seems that almost all of the barrels made for them are either varmint sized or medium/big game sized (i.e.- .223 or smaller or 7mm or bigger).
I'd like something in the middle, like a 7.62 x 39. Do you know if anyone makes this barrel for the Contender? Or would the increased pressure require that it be reserved for the Encore frame?
A 6.5 TCU, 6.5 JDJ, or 6.5 Dreadnought would be just about perfect, but the brass to reload for them or the factory ammo (if you can find it) would be too expensive. 7.62 x 39, on the other hand, are dirt cheap.
Daydreaming minds want to know.
